Welcome Readers to March 2009 of the Azerothian Addict!
This months episode is brought to you by: Doctors - we'd all be ill without them! (wouldnt we Exi:P)
Crotch Watch
No, this is not a request for pics Mini!
Ok, I can not be the only person thats noticed the recent number of quest givers that want us to talk to their crotch can I?
I was happy unlocking the Sons of Hodir dailies (yes, I know, chop chop) when the king wouldnt give me his quest till I talked to his groin area! I thought how rude!
After screenshotting the big cheese that is King I immediately forgot the rudeness and did his next quest. I then got another groin in my face! I say again, how rude!!!
Its not a monthly competition but see if you can guess the groin:

Iron Man is Back!!
This is a trial run, to make sure everyone knows what Iron Man is before I start forming them regularly.
For those that arent aware of a Nightfall Ironman Challenge, shame, shame on you!!! No, in all seriousness, it was a huuuge laugh the last few times we've done it and would be a good one to join in on!
Cookie Crumbles are the only team so far to have taken on the Ironman Challenge and have been breaking records and taking names for the honor of Nightfall.
The challenge is to take on as many heroics as possible within a 12 hour period. Yup thats right 12 hrs of non-stop WoW. Atleast that is the initial aim. Last time we did a bit of toon swapping and think it went for 9hrs before we couldnt replace peoples :thumb
Really about badge collection and fun, I sit there with my fraps running everyso often, I sometimes ask you to repeat funniness, for filmage
Loremaster Madness
As many are currently aware I am currently ignoring Sons of Hodir rep (yes I've received the relevant spankings) and heading for Loremaster of Northrend. I have a coupleof observations to share with the masses:
1. I NEED a site/addon that I can click on that tells me what quests I have left!
Anyone else notice the tracker, really doesnt track much. It just tracks how many quests you have done. This DOES NOT help you figure out where on earth you have to go next.
2. Could blizz adopt the wowhead approach to start/finish points
Dont get me wrong, some puzzle "guess who you are going to now" are fun, but cant the majority have "Start: bob, End: bobette" at the beginning or end. I realise Id get lazy, read that, go to bobette and forget to pick up the 20 quest items, or kill the 30 targets, but still!
3. Macros for turnin's speed up the process huuugely
nuff said
4. Why doesnt the first time I do a daily count as a quest?
Not being funny, I killed 20 guys in Ice crown last night, thinking w00t these will take me to 100 q's left, and they were all dailies. Yes money = good, but atm, loremaster > gold!
5. These different phases of zones ROCK, absolutely awesome...untill...
...you go to help someone on a 5man q, and you havent unlocked the phase they are in!
6. Chilled meat does not drop nearly as often as it used to!
7. There will always be a grp/raid inv, when your just starting a new quest hub
8. My epic mount is slower than everyone elses
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase bring back the riding crop
9. LOTR was a big inspiration to Ice Crown
10. Dont do a me, Basin is not a loremaster quest hub >.<
I know, I know, I probably wouldnt complain if I didnt have the acheesement bug, and I find it a real positive. To me, those achievement points are keeping me active, I want to collect as many as possible. I realise thats not the case for others but is funding my flask spending spree ^_^
Confessions of a Shadow-Priest
To make my confession I must first tell you the background, so you understand why this is a confession that means a lot to me and the person I am confessing to.
Unfortunately, as I tell you the background you will start to guess at what my confession is. To try and combat this I thought I would try and make my apology story and roleplay based!
Names have been changed to safeguard the identity of characters. Any resemblance between those living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Also, events that actually occured will be similar but were 2-3yrs ago so memory a bit fussy.
One sunny afternoon in Azeroth a shy newly dinged 70 shadow-priest was going to have her first raid in Kara with her new found friends. The group was made of a raiding alliance between Nightfall and Imperial Fist members that had been in full swing for sometime before she had come along.
Saphina was worried. She'd been working all day, grinding some gold as she was warned there would be something called "wipe-costs" and "repair bills" and being new she didnt understand that they were joking when it was said "newbs pay for the repair bills".
She'd been excited all day, before she started the journey from Duskwood Flight Master to the front gates. She'd spent a lot of time the weekend before ensuring that she had the key to enter the portal (with ofc a lot of help from her friends, including a poor gnome mage Ieom, who was the only one she knew with an Arcatraz key, :/ dressed all in purples the 4-10 wipes to get to the key pot hurt), and didnt want to waste the oportunity to see more content her small world had to offer. However, it had been a busy day..and she had failed to read up on what was going to actually happen as she walked through this gate.
She loaded vent, then realised she couldn talk to anyone, not only because she had no mic, but because she had loaded vent and not ts! On loading ts she felt more at ease, there were "hello's" and "how ya doings" followed by the "zomg girls dont exist on teh internets" comments that set everyones minds at ease.
Saphina then found out that she would be healing, that it was ok to heal as shadow you'd just go OOM quicker so the dps had to step it up. Saphina looked blankly at those around her...healing??? They might as well have said it in Latin, she didnt understand the concept. A pally then arrived to tell her the deal, PJ had been a holy paladin for a while, he told her "point at someone with the lowest health and heal" we then decided any wipes were the dps's fault for not killing it faster.
As the giggling eased the situation, Saphina caught sight of herself in a mirror in the hallway. This mirror was a bit wierd though. She hadnt seen it there earlier; what on earth was going on? This mirror changed her clothes, she appeared now to be wearing plate! The mirror image spoke...
Mirror Image: "OMG, TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
Saphina: "lol, hiyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Mirror Image: "My name is Mesum, nice to meet you!"
It turned out it wasnt a mirror, but a holy paladin that was her spitting image!
For some time to come, whenever Mesum came online Saphina shouted "twwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn" in her guild channel, and vise vera. A lot of conversations surrounded how amusing it was, how unlikely and how cool ^_^
Something threatend to change the course of this friend/kin-ship. The introduction of WotLK brought about the posibility to change ones appearance. The two talked about how they could never go to the beauty parlour unless they went together, and all seemed well from the twins.
However, something happened, something that would rock the word.
ONE OF THEM GOT A HAIR CUT!!! and DIDNT TELL THE OTHER!!!
Now level 80 and a bit more experienced in the world of warcraft, Saphina was finding her amusement in Stormwind. She called the activity "pimping a priest" as she had to pop on some perfume and kiss the guards to get stuff.
It was the last day she could officially get the valentines day achievement, and shed become an achievement junky. She needed that fix, that title, the honor, the glory and more importantly the pet!!!...but all the guards were breaking her heart. If they gave her anything, it was another black dress, that although suited her...no toon needed 10 of them!
At that moment crept into her head that it was her hair cut! They werent giving her what she wanted because of her hair cut!
She did it...she sat in the chair and had her hair cut, dyed and styled!
Saphina: "What have i done?????"
she was devestated with herself...how could she have done that to her twin??
*Saphina has earned the love fool title*
Saphina: "wwwwwwwwwwwwwww00000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000ttttttttttttttttttttttttt"
Moral of the story is, when pimping a priest look the part! But; remember those that have loved ya for ages. Saphina loves ya Mesum
